Dear @katiemccurdy, lately I start my public presentations by talking about awesome you and reading aloud your “designer’s oath” to set the intention on stage. I hope you don’t mind... that you are now getting known in Canada, UK, and Germany :) @pictalhealth @CheltDesignFest

Every garment that bears our name is made in the UK. And more than that a great many of the textiles that they are made from are made here too. In fact, some⁠ of the clothes we make can trace every step, from raw material to finished garment, to UK factories.

Whether or not you agree with their methods you cannot disagree with their motivations. The planet is being polluted and destroyed for corporate and individual greed. It needs to stop. I believe in business as a force for good. Good for individuals, society and the planet.

We're really excited to be working @GC_vol_projects on our #Gimson100 project - today we introduced the students to Ernest and they started experimenting with designing from nature! Can't wait to see the final results!
Kirsty, Kim and Sophie gave the Community Engagement students an introduction to Earnest Gimson and his nature inspired designs. Each learner made their own pictures using tea leaves! @GC_vol_projects @Gloscol @TheWilsonChelt #earnestgimson #tealeafart
